These scum bags do not deserve to live, and certainly should not be breeding the next generation of scum to drag the country down further into the poo. |

Can anyone draw any conclusions from these figures. Match your stats and raise you www.nationmaster.com I conclude that New Zealand is one of the safest places. |

Can anyone draw any conclusions from these figures. The NZ rate doesn't seem to be that bad now. How did you get away with it? |

So acording to you and your outdated information NZ is safe and therefore there is no need to try and make it safer then. Try telling that to the victims!!! |

This is cupable homocides, which includes criminal manslaughter, by other than negligence - such as a fatal motor accident accident while under the influence. We know the reason, gang violence, and soft penalties. Life should mean life - however it is preferable to top them, as long as one doesn't allow endless expensive appeals, like in the USA, before carrying out sentence. There should be but one appeal, put all your cards down at one time - lose and the sentence is carried out. |

Interesting stats, Cato. One comment on that page is, DEFINITION: Note: Crime statistics are often better indicators of prevalence of law enforcement and willingness to report crime, than actual prevalence Make sure you guys read that part - there's a reason that the lower you get on the list, the shittier the country gets (yet the crime rate apparently improves per capita). It has to do with reporting. I agree with that, and with the observation that insulting someone in Denmark is a crime, yet raping someone in Yemen is not. And I note too, that Australia doesn't figure at all in these stats. Is it that our neighbour is off the scale at either end (i.e. having achieved virtual sainthood on one hand or is the new Great Satan on the other)? Stats are what you make of them. :devil |

The UN is up to the 10th survey. |
